20 miles south of Orlando, Walt Disney World covers 43 square miles. After the incredible success of Disneyland in Southern California in the 1950s, Walt Disney decided to expand his empire with a stealthy purchase of 27,443 acres of land near Orlando, Florida in 1965. And although Walt Disney himself died in 1966, Walt Disney World opened to global anticipation and excitement in 1972. Since opening, the park has expanded to include four separate theme parks—the original Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom. There are also water parks, hotels, campgrounds, lots of restaurants, fireworks and fun! Walt Disney World is a children's paradise, and your little ones are sure to cherish their time here for the rest of their lives!
